TM5-3810-305-104.NOTERope will stretch and shrink indiameter when loads are applied,Apply the initial load and retighten nuts to therecommended torque. Inspect periodicallyand retighten.A termination made in accordance with theabove instructions, and using the number ofclips shown, has an approximate 80% effi-ciency rating. This rating is based upon thecatalog breaking strength of wire rope. If apulley is used in place of a thimble for turningback the rope, add one additional clip.NOTEThe following information isbased upon the use of U-boltclips on new rope.The number of clips shown is based uponusing right regular or lang lay wire rope, 6x19class or 6x37 class, fibre core or IWRC, IPSor XIPS. If Scale construction or similarlarge outer wire type construction in the 6x19class is to be used for sizes 1 in. and larger,add one additional clip.The number of clips shown also applies toright regular lay wire rope, 8x19 class, fibrecore, IPS size 1-1/2 in. and smaller; and rightregular lay wire rope, 18x7 class, fibre core,IPS or XIPS, sizes 1-3/4 and smaller.For other classes of wire rope not mentionedabove, it may be necessary to add additionalclips to the number shown.If a greater number of clips are used thanshown in the table, the amount of ropeturnback should be increased proportionately.Fist Grip ClipsFailure to make a termination inaccordance with the followinginstructions, or failure to periodi -tally check and retighten to therecommended torque, will causea reduction in efficiency rating,which could cause DEATH orserious injury.Refer to Figure 4-37 and Table 6 (page 4-40) forspecifications of fist grip clips.The recommended method of applying fist gripclips is as follows:1. Turn back the specified amount of rope fromthe thimble. Apply the first clip one basewidth from the dead end of the wire rope.Tighten nuts evenly to recommended torque.2. Apply the next clip as near the loop as pos-sible. Turn nuts firmly but do not tighten.3. Space additional clips, if required, equallybetween the first two. Turn nuts, take up ropeslack, and tighten all nuts evenly on all clipsto recommended torque.Figure 4-37. Fist Grip Clip Dimensions4 - 39
